People are choosing stupidity
Is it because it's easier than getting proper news from reputable sources or something?
I think it's just that a content creator, especially one with the ability to come off authentically, comes off as more trustworthy than a media corporation, even one well known for its trustworthiness.
Part of me misses my childhood local paper. Especially the game we played in middle school of finding the spelling and grammar errors. Honestly though I do think we need to have a revival of subscribing to local newspapers
My middle school social studies teacher used to give extra credit on things if we brought in a newspaper clipping with a spelling error circled. I didn't understand until years later that getting us to read the paper was the goal, but it sure worked on me.
